“George?” Noah said into the phone.

He was answered with a grunt. And then, “God, man! It’s midnight!”

“I kissed her. Not a little affectionate peck on the cheek. I tickled her tonsils with my tongue.”

“Well now,” George said. He sat up in bed and felt around for his glasses. “I can’t tell if you’re bragging or apologizing.”

“This has disaster written all over it.”

“Ah. Bragging. No one loves a good disaster like Noah.” Then he chuckled. “And now?”

“Now I can’t wait to do it again.”

“Might want to put that off for a while, boy. Till you get settled down a little.”

There were certain things about one another that did not require further explanation. George didn’t ask Noah if he cared for her because Noah didn’t get involved with women who meant nothing to him. No need for Noah to explain that he was starting to care way too much and it worried him. From the hour of the call alone, George knew that.

“It’s probably just some good old-fashioned lust,” Noah said.

“Hmm, probably,” George agreed.

“Some of the best lust I can remember,” Noah said. “Christ above, this is all wrong.”

“We both know what’s wrong with it, son. Let’s take a second to talk about what’s right.”

“I can’t think of anything at the moment. Besides the lust, that is. And that she’s incredible. I never thought this would work—I thought it was a charity job, giving her the position to help her get her custody deal worked out. But I couldn’t ask for more. And she makes me laugh. She’s so sassy. And soft. Did I mention she’s soft?”

“Did you coerce her? Harass her? Emotionally blackmail her?” George asked.

“Of course not. I told her she could sue me.”

George chuckled. “Well, Noah, what a sweet-talker you are. No wonder the women are just falling at your feet.”

“She depends on me and the job.”

“Yes, you’ve explained. Is it likely she’s afraid that if she doesn’t yield, you or the job will vanish?”

Noah took a breath. “She is afraid of nothing. Even when she should be.”

“Noah, are you courting her?”

Dead silence hung in the air. And finally he said, “I’m fighting my libido, and for a while tonight it was winning. I don’t even know if I’m courting—it’s too new. I like her, of course. She intrigues me as much as she annoys me. I admire her, but I admit she’s strange to me. I’ve never known anyone like her. And of course she’s entirely the wrong kind of woman for me, in my circumstances.”

“Oh, I don’t know. Jesus hung out with Mary Magdalene. You don’t get more provocative than that.”

“Thanks a lot,” Noah grumbled.

“I’d better come up there. I was going to wait till you got rid of all the mouse shit, but I’d better come before you create some of your own.”
